I thought his statement wasn’t strong enough. It’s the military, instead of being invited to get out, they should be told that they will be found and kicked out, regardless of their preference.

Now I know white people are predisposed to not respecting boundaries

I follow Lupita N’Yongo on instagram for no other reason than for the joy of opening the app every once in a while and there she is smiling. That’s a pick me up for the day.

I want to highlight how these reactions to protesters are racist. I was at an event a few days ago during which the anthem was played at the start. I happened to be the only non-white person in the area I was seated. Without even thinking about it, when the anthem started, I stood up along with everyone else, and…

I wonder how many of these people who are upset watching players kneel or not come out during the anthem, are sitting on their sofas while getting upset during that anthem?

“In some ways even though his picture is not there, Colin Kaepernick is there; I think we all know that,” Cannella said

I bet there is a lot of overlap between people who demand we respect the flag/anthem who also disrespect it by revering the confederate flag

Mods have added these dynamics years ago for free. Is there a difference here?

It’s weird that a village in central New York state called Whitesboro would use a seal that depicts a white man strangling a Native American man

Interesting that as a cop that she doesn’t acknowledge that the protests are aimed at her people murderng black people.

When white people boycott the NFL over these protests, doesn’t that help the protesters raise awareness for their protests?

Hey, whypipo, is this racist? Can I be upset about this without pissing you off?

I love that I can tell it’s a Michael Harriot article just by the headline. Keep it up.

Who cares even if she changed without a long in depth apology and renunciation of her former racism and bullshit slinging on FN?

Call me cynical but keeping the players off the field prevents displays of players protesting.

That’s right! Don’t let this bullshit about the anthem fog over the real issue, the issue that has Trump, the right-wing media and all their ilk so upset: Greater awareness and activism about the gross racial inequalities in our criminal justice system from the cops to the lawmakers.

First of all, inviting champions to the White House is more about the occupant trying to borrow some of the champions’ glory.

The Metropolitan Opera in NYC sings the anthem once before the first performance of the season every year. It’s a long standing tradition. I’d be curious if the LA Opera does it regularly or just once at the start of the season.

it doesn’t make them any less racist, but there is nothing that makes a racist less racist.
